[Bridge: John Lennon]]
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said
"Poor boy, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you
But your soul - think!"

About “The Ballad of John and Yoko”

John Lennon’s uptempo ballad was written in Paris during his and Yoko’s honeymoon in 1969. It is the story of their wedding in Gibraltar, and through Paris to their “bed in” week in Amsterdam, a short jaunt to Vienna and back to London.

Recorded with Paul only, since George and Ringo were out of town. Paul played drums as well as Bass. John played both the rhythm and lead guitar lines.

This was the Beatles last single, and the only one recorded in stereo.
